DUELLING.-COURT OF HONOUR. [We have much pleasure in copying the following sensible article upol the absurd practice of Diamtirso from the titasuow Faaa ream] Rastsais on the 104 TRIAL of DAVID LANGDALI, Esq.,' for killing Mr. Mona Alt in a Duel.--By Geoaaz BuctiLe.u, Esq.. of Kelloe. Pp. SS. Edin., 1828. We had chalked out for ourselves the subject of this judicious pamphlet for an article, as one, of considerable interest and importance, before Mr. Buchan made his ap pearance as an author,—we cane ist but feel somewhat obliged to' him therefore, for furnishing us, with so good an occasional cause, as his " Remarks' do, for drawing the atteption of our readers; for a moment, to the question which he professes to discuss. The turn at once unreasonable, unholy, and illegal, which public opinion has, of late years, taken, on the subject of duelling r the alswibil bondage• in which aria caprice of fashion enchains the nolhds of men, otherwise moral and enlightened, and by which their actions are at all times, (though no doubt very reluctantly,) determined ; and the decided tendency which these must have, to confound moral distinctions, on this subject, in the minds of the young, thoughtless, and half-informed, are circumstances pregnant with mischief to the present and coming generations, and ought, therefore, to be boldly met and resisted, by all who have the means of doing so, in however minute a degree; or who have the interest of law, religion, reason, morals, their country, and mankind, seriously at heart.—All these, it is manifest, are at ," war, open and avowed," with this weak, selfish, and absurd, though, fashionable practice ; yet all of them are found, with the upper and influential ranks, to be inert and useless, when brought to bear against it. Dan dies and drivellers—foplings and fools—laced, braided, and whiskered pandoors—creatures, out of a gross of whom, we suppose, a grain of common sense could scarcely be obtained, by the most skilful analysis—despotically give the law, in this matter, to philosophers and legislators, to princes and ministers of state, nay, to the bench of justice itself, which ought, in our humble opinion, rather to frown upon and condemn, and, doing so, abolish it. That this is the duty of judges and juries, in all parts of the British empire, is clear, from the following authorities, as quoted by our author : " As to the law of Scotland, Mr. Baron Hume states, Where a duel takes place upon a challenge, and is fol lowed by the death of one of the parties, this, according to the law of Scotland, is mnrder in the survivor, how fair and equal soever the manner of conducting the combat. But the better to repress such irregularities, to which the fervent temper of the Scots so strongly disposed them, the legislatur, by the Statute 1600 c. 12, raised the bare act of engaging in a duel, to the same rank of a capital 'crime as the actual slaughter, without distinguishing whe ther any of the parties did or did not suffer any wound or materiel harm on the occasion. To complete the restraint, it was, by Statute 1696, c. 35, made punishable with ba nishment, and escheat of moveables, to be concented in the giving, sendingi or accepting of a challenge, even though no combat should ensue. (Hume's Crtm. Law, vol. ii. ch. 17.)" " On the law of England, Judge Blackstone h av i ng de bleal"i'' not so properly (the essenti a l ingredientfine d of the carne of nu `malice to spite or malevolence to the deceased in p art i cu l ar, as any e t v t i a l w de i s th ign a s in eda g t e e i:er d al el , :h e e n ra d te `express malice,. to be, when o , and formed design, doth kill another ; which formed design is evidenced by external cireumstances, discovering the inward intention, such as lying in wait, antecedent menaces, former grudges, and concerted Schemes to do him some bodily harm;' adds, with the view of leaving no doubt, that killing in duel comes within the legal description o f murder, This takes in the cas e of deliberate duelling, wh ere b oth partie s' meet avowedly with an intent to murder, t hi n ki ng it their duty, as gentlemen, and claiming it as 'their right, to wan ton with th e i r own lives and those of their fellow -creatures, without any warran t or au thority from any p ower , e i t h er divine o r h uman , b ut i n direct contradi ct i on to the laws of God and mon ; and therefore the law has justly fixed the crime and punishment of murder on them, and on t h e i r seconds also.' (Blackstone, 'vol. iv. p. 198, 199.) Judge Foster says, 'Deliberate duelling, if death en sueth, is, in the eye of the law, murder. For duels are generally founded in deep revenge ; and though a person should be drawn into a duel, not IIPHI) a motive so Mini m!, but merely upon the punctilio of what the swordsmen falsely call honour, that will not excuse. For he that de liberately seeketh the blood of another upon a private quarrel, acteth in defiance of all law, human and divine, whatever his Motive may be.'—Foster's Crown Law, Disc. 11. cap. 5. The divine law, on wfiish the law of our country evi dently rests, is not lea express on this subject; and to any One who truly receives the scriptures as the oracles of the living God,'- the obligations it conveys must be felt as wholly irresistible. The first general law refordititmurder, was given to Noah, immediately after the flood,- Gen. it. lit 6, Surely the blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the band of man ; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man. Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God made he man. The second general law is included in the ten commandments, delivered to Moses in the midst of the thunders of ,Siss a l— ss a hn pressive emblem of the penalties attached to their violation, Exod. xx. 13. Thou shalt not•kill.' These are follow ed by more detailed ordinances, founded on the first laws. ' The ritual and ceremonial part of the Mosaic dispen sation, was superseded by the dispensation of the Gospel; bat the spiritual authority of the commandments given to Moses, remains equally binding in every Christian coun try, as it was on the Jewish peoples The scriptures also enjoin the most ample forgiveness of injuries ; and we are again and again warned, that if we do not forgive others their wrongs against us, we have no hope of forgiveness from God. If you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.' And hie Lord was wroth, and deli vered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him; so likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye, from your hearts, forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.' Put on bowels of mercy, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suf fering, forbearing one another, forgiving one another: if any man have a quarrel against any, even as Christ for gave you, so also do ye. "Be patient towards all men ; see. that none render evil -for evil unto any man." AVenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath; for it is written, vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore, if thine enemy hunger, feed him • if he thirst, give him drink; for in doing so, t h ou shalt ' heap coals of fire on his head. Be not_ overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.' No language can be more plain than the above —.no intimation more-clearly given of the Divine will, with re gard to murder, in any supposable shape, and all the pro pensities of the heart, from which the crime emanates. It might be reasonably supposed, that, with such direct, such fearful denunciations of the Divine vengeance in view, few would be found so unthinking or so daring as to bid it defiance. The laws of God and of man have united their clearest dictates on the subject, and with such luminaries in sight, with such a pillar of cloud by day, and pillar of fire by night,' it might have been thought that few would have wandered, notwithstanding all the perversity of the human mind, and the depravity of the buman heart." But, it seems, all these authorities, both divine and hu man, are now obsolete!' We have outlived them ! They are incompatible, according to Mr— Jeffrey, with the maxims of modern refinement I The grand discovery has at length been made, that St Paul, its well as his master, was all in the wrong—and the great apostle of the upper ranks is henceforth to be some captain of the Tenth Hussars, or perhaps a Brumme ! The maxims of the mess, the morals of the " hells," and of St. James' Coffee House, are forthwith to be embodied into the law of the land ; forgivenness of injuries, and all the moral dignity which it was wont to confer, together with the immortal rewards which are attached to it, have been voted to be ',vulgar and worthless by British juries —unworthy of the ambition of men of spirit, and of such as are miscalled gentlemen! .Prole pudor ! But if the upper ranks of society are thus to be permitted by courts of law to place themselves beyond the pale of all law; at least all such as is recognized by reason, religion, and the Tealm, in one particular in stance, where, we would ask, is the' licence to stop ? If one part of the law -of honour is to be embodied into the law of the land, as " liberally accommo dated to human feelings," why may not those who profess to be regulated by it insist upon the othei parts of the code, such as the lawfulness of adultery, seduction, cruelty to servants, rigorous treatment, of tenants and other depend ants, injuries done to tradesmen by insolvency or delay of payment, being admitted also ? To be consistent, after having recognized the lawfulness of duelling, our courts of law cannot punish or reprehend any of the above pecca dilloes, all which, like duelling, are unpunishable by the laws of honour ! So just is the remark of Paley on this subject, that " if unauthorised laws of honour be allowed to create exceptions to Divine prohibitions, there is an end of all morality, us founded in the will of the Deity ; and the obligation of every duty may, at, one time or other, be dis charged by the caprice and fluctuations of fashion." As a favourable specimen of our author's style, we select the following passage, with the sentiments of which, we need not say, we cordially concur:— '" We are, however, very far from con s id er i ng t h e case hopeless. We, on the contrary, trust that a better order ,of things will, and that not distantly, return. We' do not deem any sudden transition from relaxation to rigour, to be desirable; it would in truth be unjust, and nothing of the kind can be requisite. In the temper of the favoured times in which our lot has been cast, the rigid severity of the law's administration' will seldom, if ever, be needful, and the,stream of mercy, if permitted to flow from the true the only legitimate source, may generally. flow with safety. In truth, however, we think that something short of that mark would be ere long found to suffice from the gradual • disuse of the obnoxious practice. Let the unlawfulneas of duelling be stedtbstly and uniformly declared from the Bench, and its true character exhibited to view, and the practice will probably not long stand against this. Ther e is in the present day seldom to he met. with that tiger-like thirst of blood, that blood only will satisfy ; and if proper means were used to make people feel that the duellist breaks his country's laws, and invokes on his head the Divine vengeance, the punctilio of honour, that absurdity has so broadly stampt, will probably recede, and other more harmless means be devised of bringing occasional dif ferenees to a settlement." The " more harmless means " which Mr. Buchan refers to, are, we suppose, the establishment of a court of honour, similar to what .obtained in France in the reign of Loui s XIV., and which had so good an effect in abolishing duel - ling in that country. With regard to such an institution, Dr. Paley has the following passage : " For the army, where the point of h onour is cultiv i a l t u e r d .. With exquisite attention and refinement, I would establi s h a court of honour, with a power of awarding those sub m i e . sinus and acknowledgments, which it is generally the po se of a challenge to, obtain; and it might grow into a fashion with • persona of rank of all professions, to refer their quarrels to this tribunal." This pamphlet does great credit to the good sense and good feeling of Mr. Buchan, and though he may fail to circa any gr eat change in the minds of those who allow themselves to be earned away by the current of fashion on the su bj e ct which he treats of, yet he has succeeded com pletely in establishing the glaring impiety and illegality of the practice, and what he says, must he peculiarly conso -I►tort' to those who may be suffering from the contumely have chosen the " bet part of braving all ate and scorn of a thoughtless and profligate world—be.suse rather than A t ermake shipwre c k o f ibtir they may tfhaesgeOod conscience." fsaeivtehriatyndofo TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, NOV. 18. 7 —0 n Monday the Romney, 50, Captaia . N..Lockyer, C.B. arrived from the lonian Islands, Malta, and Gibraltar, with invalided detachments of the 7th, 12th, 18th, 23d,' 28th, 43d, Slat, 64th, and 88th Re giments, and Rifle Brigade; the Romney left at Corfu the Weazle, and at Malta, the Zebra, Chanticleer, and Mastiff. The Raleigh had arrived from Spithead, and sailed for Alexandria. The Romney was released from quarantine on Wednesday, and is now refitting at Spithead. The following extract from a private letter from Malta (received by the Romney) contains the latest intelligence respecting the Greek Navy MALTA, OeT. 1.-Sir Harry :Neale continues in the Archipe lago, with nearly all, the squadron, a few of the sloops being em ployed in convoying the trade thither and back.. The Greek pirates require the presence Of the united squadronkof England, France, and Austria, to keep them in check. The.Greok fleet consists mostly of brigs, not brigs of war, but they are all armed. Six of them lately deserted the Greek cause, and went pirating. One of them is now here, sent in by the Medium, Captain T. Cur tis. She .has part of the cargoes of several different vessels on board, which she plundered. The prisoners, in justification, say, " We had no pay nor provisions, and with arms in our hands, we were not going to starve." It will be quite impossible to protect our trade, with our present force, if this example is followed by the Greek fleet generally, and which there is some reason to ap prehend. . The Greeks had .an affair with the Turks, off Myti lene, about a fortnight since, which lasted two days, but neither party could claim advantage. The Pacha of Egypt has threaten ed to come and settle the matter for the Turks, but having heard that Lord Cochrane was coming with his sixty-eight-poundere; he suddenly became indisposed. Lord C., otherwise Mr.: Hunter Blair, has departed this coast, in his English schooner, sadly dis satisfied, for Alarseilles. This morning the Russian line-of-battle ship Constan tine, 74, Commodore Bellinghausen, Captain Cussin, and the Helena frigate, Captain . Baronskoff, arrived here from Crenstadt, last from Copenhagen (where they lay a week), bound to the Mediterranean. It is now, we believe, fifteen years since the Russians had such a naval force in those seas. They are expected to sail in about ten days. The Orestes sloop of war, Captain W. Jones, while lately cruising off the c o as t o f L a b ra d or, suddenly, in a thick fog, fell aboard of an iceberg, and but for the fortu nate circumstance that she had just hove to, to sound, every soul would have been lost, as she had just previously been running seven ,knots. The first intiquttion the crew had of the ice was by the jib-boom and bowsprit being curried away, by Striking against it; the rebound happily prevented her bows from touching the mighty mass, and, she drifted from it ; it was considerably higher than the Orestes' masts-head, and appearing completely to over hang them ; it was drifting to the southward. The Orestes left Newfoundland on the Ist of September for Halifax. A letter from Halifax, dated October 14, states the ar rival of the Jupit er (Admiral Lake) from Quebec. The Menai and Rifleman were ordered to sail for England with out. waiting to be relieved; the former was to sail on her arrival from. Quebec, the latter in about ten days. The Contest, Lieut. English, had arrived from Newfoundland, to refit. The writer, in his remarks on the American cor vetotte Lexington, aptain Sherbrick, which tried her rate of sailing with the Orestes, says—" The Lexington is not a handsome ship, but carries very heavy metal, and most astonishing masts, yards, and rigging. She mounts two medium long 21 and twenty-two 32-pound carronadei (formerly Washington's guns) all upon one deck. These however are only until others are cast for her, when it is intended she should mount twenty-four long 24's, twenty of them to be what are called the medium guns, and the other four the regular long guns.

Erre AI14!, SA i) titi AY, Nov. 18,--Sttbsequent to the. apprehension of William Pep aka Cobbler Will, on sus picion of having murdered - John .Akehurst and Elizabeth Haines, on exaniination'of his - baggage., an instrument was found therein by Mr. Hall,. of Union-hall police-office, which apparently. corresponded with the marks visible in the night-caps worn by the deceased persons on the night of the made*. Since the Inspected parties have been lodged in floritemonger,lane gaol, it appears that the Mat ' gistrates (R.. 1. Chambers and R. Hedger, &airs.) before. whom ifiey have been examined, nit seeing the caps, of the. murdered persons; deemed it -necessary that the :bodies. should be disinterred,' in order to discover whether the in strtunent alluded to was likely to be the one with' - -erhiela the wounds on the skulls were inflicted. Agreeably'tts the intentton of the Magistrates, Mr, Staples, the chief' clerk of Union-han, arrived at Fetcharn on Wednesday evening, and lost no time in making the necessary arrange ments with Mr. Webb, the parish clerk. At 11 o'clock precisely, the Magistrates, who snggnted the necessity of disinterring the bodies, arrived at the Swan Inn, at Lcatherhead, accompanied by a medical gentleman from town. Soon after their arrival, they were pined by. the Rev. Mr. Rolland, who came up expressly tjt of Gloucestershire, for the purpose of being present or the disinterment and examination of the bodies of his llte on fortonate parishioners. On their arrival at the place of, interment, the coffins were taken from the church, and. each placed on it tomb-stone, and, after the unpleasant effluvia arising from the bodies, which had undergone rapid decomposition, bad in some degree evaporated on the admission of air, the medical. gentleman commenced their task. On inspecting the head of the old man, a wound was discovered over the right temple. Mr. Hall, in whose possession the instrument. has been since it was found, here applied it to the wound, and it so precisely corresponded with the marks visible on the deceased's temple, as to leave no doubt in the minds of all present that it was the instrument with which they were in flicted. The surgeons then proceeded to operate on th e herd, and they cut aw a y that. portion of the Rita which was fractured, in order to produce, before the. Jury, in the event of the co mm itt a l o f th e p r i s o ners , for trial. They then examined the body of Elizabeth Haines, and on raising up the head discovered upon the back pirt of it two wounds on the skull ; the instrument was also applied, the ends of which fitted with the great est nicety. The instrument found amongst: " Cobbler Will's" baggage, and which there is now very little doubt is the identical one with which the murders were committed, is a pair of iron pincers, used by shoemakers, or what is commonly termed a pair of stretchers, that open and shut like a pair of pincers ; there is a nob nearly at the extre mity of one of the ends of it which answers the purposes of a hammer, and the corresponding end is bltmt and ra ther jagged. The wounds visible on the skulls of the deceased appear to,have, been inflicted by the murderer when the instruenent was open at / its full extent, about three quarters of an inch, each ming having made indett-' tations on the skulls exactly at that distance apart. There were other marks visible that' clearly demonstrated, on comparison, that the stretcher found in Page's pack was the fatal instrument. The surgeons also cut away that. part of Eliiabeth Haines'S skull which ,exhibited the frac tures; und at length, having accomplished this duty, the coffins were screwed down afresh, and placed in their respective graves. From the secrecy observed on the °cession, there were very few present to interrupt the proceedings of the sur geons. After they were concluded, all the Magistrates proceeded over to the cottage where the murders were perpetrated. They found in the cottage old Akeherst'a daughter, her husband, and one of their daughters, all of whom, it seems, took possession of the property on Thursday week. As an instance of the gross barbarism in which the children of Ayres have been brought up, the following facts will be Sufficient :—During the visit of the Magistrates, the family happened to be at dinner; one of Mary Ayres'a sisters, a woman apparently above 30 years of age, sat at the table devouring potatoes Anti bacon, with such voracity, that she appeared totally unconscious of the presence of the Magistrates, and actually gorman dized to that excess, that she became sick while at the table. The mother observing the. brutal appetite of her. daughter, remarked, " Why, e rid, you are eating as if you never eat before." YOu lie, you b-,-11," responded the glutton, casting a fierce look at her parent, and at the same time thrusting in one of her greasy hands. to a dish that contained some slices of fat bacon, which she eagerly conveyed to her mouth, without the assistance of knife or fork. On the day following the inspection or the bodies, Cobbler Will and Mary Ayres underwent a long private examination at Union-ball, before the Megiatrates of . the county. The particulars of the investigation, as regards the charges against the prisoners, are of that nature, the Magistrates deem it necessary, for the ends of justice, to withhold at present from publicity. Since the former examination, the prisoners ore mai, derably altered in their appearance for the worse . , particu larly the female. - • Pt CORN LAIVi•-•-• COMAIR ST RCIAI, D1R1L11.....- 1 Ibe C Meetings, w e are 'glad to •observe, are beginning to be talkie& of in Scotland, in order to prepare petitions to Parliament on these important and pressing topics.
